Hey everyone,

I'm a 30 year old retired/ disabled army pilot. I just moved back to the area a couple years ago and it's been hard to find a serious hunting partner, someone who wants to backpack hunt and who can put miles on their feet. I hunt every method and every animal I can but have an archery Elk tag for the west side this season. I also have a back country combo hunt in Idaho planned late October, I really want to get a wolf over there.
But hey if anyone is interested let me know! Not looking for someone to show me around or their spots just someone who loves the adventure and peace hunting can bring.

Welcome to the site and Thanks for your service! O to be young again! 20 years ago I would have jumped at the chance. I know there are some great young bucks on here who would likely respond.
Good luck and welcome!

Welcome to the site, String. I'm old and gimped up. I'd probably have jumped at it 10 years ago but no longer. There's a neat beer place in Orchards (Vancouver), call Northwest Liquid Gold - ex-military guy and his wife own it. If you want to do some curls sometime, let me know. Thanks for your service. Being an ex-medic, I have a lot of respect for the helicopter crews.  :tup:

Thank you for the encouragement! My wife has been making fun of me trying to find a hunting buddy on here, says its like the match.com for hunting. She's lucky she lets me hunt how ever much I want... Well guess I'm lucky.  :chuckle:

Ive been here for 2 years. Serious hunter here but learning a new state is hard for me and new species. Im 38 and hunted and guided all in Az but these rosies are kicking my butt. Would also live to get on some good blacktail. Would like to throw my name in the hat as well.

I'll be PMing you shortly.  I'm new to the area and looking for someone that has the mindset you've got.  I'm going to start planning some scouting trips in the next few weeks if anyone cares to discuss or is interested in joining.  Fun coming to a new state and learning to do it all over again. I'm probably screwed on decent tags for the fall as my move to Washington was post-application time but would still love to join and assist even if I'm not pulling the trigger.

 "I'm probably screwed on decent tags for the fall as my move to Washington was post-application time" Unfortunately in this state its a 10-20 year wait for decent tags.  Still some alright otc stuff though.

Most tags are over the counter. The application deadline was just for limited entry permits. So you're not screwed.

Good to know on that end.  I'm just now finding some time to get through the booklets, regs, draws, etc.  Guess I'll have to start working on draw points here then as well as the few others I've already got going. Thanks guys.
